To prepare, cook the patties according to package directions, which usually involves pan-frying, baking, or grilling. Ensure they are heated through until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. They can be served on a bun with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and a cooling sauce to balance the spice. They also make a great appetizer when served with dipping sauces.

After opening, store any unused patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure they are kept cold to prevent spoilage.
